In case you missed the news last week here it is again! - With some new
updates!

The band will be back in the studio straight after Christmas to dig in deep
and finish the new Marillion album which will be released sometime in 2012 -
when we have more details you will be the first to know.

Meanwhile in between all this Marillion work, Pete and Mark have been busy
with some new side projects - CD's are available to order now. http://www.deeexpus.com/ - features Mark on Keyboardshttp://www.edisonschildren.com/ - Written and produced by Pete Trewavas and

A word from Mark on the DeeExpus album:

This coming Saturday on the 3rd of December DeeExpus will be having an album launch party. If you would like to join us at a secret location somewhere in the north-east of England (details will be sent by email when your request to attend is confirmed), Please send an email to party@dxps.com with a short note about yourself and why you are the life and soul of the party etc. and we will be in touch. Be one of the first to hear the entire “King of Number 33” album, buy it and get it signed by the whole band and wake up with your own DeeExpus hangover on Sunday. If you would like to hear a sample of the album head over to http://www.marillion.com/shop/albums/king.htm.
Thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered the “King of Number 33”, your copy will be shipped out from Racket on Monday. For those who haven’t, what are you waiting for?
